Republic one's established inside another (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

indonesia

'republic' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for indonesia that I've seen before include "Muslim republic" , "State" , "SE Asian country" , "part of Asia" , "somewhere in Asia" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
